The
Keys of Gnosis may not be fully explained within the Nag Hammadi texts.The posting of these pages is an humbling endeavour and represents personal
learning, insight, and an experience of gnosis. These reflections are
respectfully
presented as they are, knowing that they will likely change and grow even as
we do.

Also,
these ideas do not represent the doctrine of any sect or group.
Originally,
there may not have been any Gnostic church, but rather believers with
Gnostic
ideas within the churches. Gnosis is not a homogenous school of
thought,
but an opening to truth wherever it is found. Allegory and variety
abounds. The Nag Hammadi Library is a
testament
to this variety.

The
New Testament writers had an eclectic approach in the use of Gnostic
myth. In
certain congregations some Gnostic ideas were helpful. Some were not.
This
article takes a similar pragmatic and free approach, with the hope that
it
might play a part in bringing us to maturity.
